I am sure many of you have either asked someone or been asked, "If you could have dinner with one person, dead or alive (they would be alive for dinner I presume), who would it be?" Bill Gates? Abraham Lincoln? Jesus Christ? John Lennon?
Today's reading reminded me that I can have dinner, lunch, brunch and breakfast with the Creator and Sustainer of the entire universe. The omnipotent, omniscience God of eternity past, present and future is on-call 24/7 for those who have believed in and trusted in his son, Jesus Christ.
In Ephesians 3:12 Paul writes, "In him (Jesus Christ) and through faith in him, we can approach God with freedom and confidence." Freedom to go to our Heavenly Father whenever we need him and with whatever is troubling us. Freedom to offer him praise and thanks whenever the mood strikes us. Confidence that he is able and willing to "work for the for the good of those who love him and have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28.
How exciting and reassuring is the knowledge that we can, with freedom and confidence, approach El Shaddai, God the Sustainer.
If you could choose one person, past or present, to have dinner with, who would it be?
